History[edit | edit source]

Travelport was formed in August 2006, when Cendant Corporation, a provider of travel and real estate services, separated its travel distribution services division. The company was subsequently acquired by Blackstone Group, a private equity firm, in a leveraged buyout.

In 2007, Travelport acquired Worldspan, a major GDS provider. This acquisition expanded Travelport's reach in the global travel industry and added to its portfolio of travel technology solutions.

In 2014, Travelport went public on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "TVPT".
